The Magic have the BEST chance at taking down the Lebrons (AKA the Cavs). The Magic owned the league's best record against the top teams (Cavs, Celts, Lakers, & Spurs). I know things have changed a bit with Jameer out and the Cavs hitting their stride, but I really like Orlando's chances so much that I take them in 6 games. The Cavs look better in the playoffs partly because of their competition.....the Pistons?...really?....the Hawks...with Joe Johnson injured?....really? Meanwhile the Celts were locked into a historic battle with the Bulls and now face the Magic.
IF...IF....the Magic can get past the Celtics, they will take games 1, 3,4, & 6 and advance to the NBA Finals....against.....the Nuggets! (but that's another story)
TJ...Orlando in 6? Really? The best they can do against a depleted, old and tired Celtics is win in 6...after barely beating the struggling Sixers in 6...but somehow you know they will beat the healthy, focused, rested, homecourt owning Cavs in 6? Wow. You do realize that of the East "top teams", none have won a single game in Cleveland.
Keep making excuses with Jameer even though Rafer went out and showed the world that a lot of point guards can play well on that team/system.
Joe Johnson tweaked his ankle at the end of game two when they were losing by thirty, and played the next two games...Cavs D is just frightening TJ.
You lost all credibility by claiming a Magic-Nuggets final, I just wasted my time arguing with you.
You ask if anyone can beat the Cavs... Then you don't give a check for for NO!
Anyone who has watched LeBron over the past 6 years (and who hasn't?) sees a much different look in his eyes when he takes the court this year. We saw that look on Russell when the Celtics owned the NBA... when Magic took the Showtime Lakers to their dominance... or on Jordan's tongue when he and Phil elevated the Bulls from sub-mediocrity to a dynasty... or Kobe during the Shaq edition of the Lakers' superiority. It's a swaggar... a conviction... and obession, if you will, that eventually comes to the surface in just a handful of athletes in an era. We'll find out in the next month if LeBron has the full package to join that elite group. Frankly, I don't see anyone left in the playoffs that I'd bet on to stop him.
